Esthere, solidarity Student, Winner of the Solidarity Fund in 2024-2025
"This experience transformed me. As a student, it allowed me to step outside the academic setting and put my knowledge to use in the real world. I learned to listen, adapt, plan in emergencies, and manage unexpected situations in the field. As a citizen of the world, this experience reinforced my belief that we can all contribute to righting injustices, even on a small scale. I discovered a strength within myself that was nourished by the support of other young people, professionals, and committed women."
